American Airlines announced plans to offer more flights than any other carrier in the United States to the white-sand beaches, impressive archaeological sites and vibrant culture of Cancun, Mexico.

With 40 peak-day flights this winter to help travelers escape the cold-weather blues, American provides plenty of options for customers to take in all that Cancun and the Riviera Maya offer.

Starting on December 9, the airline will launch new nonstop flights to Cancun from Cincinnati, Nashville, Tennessee, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The additional service grows the carrier’s winter network to 18 nonstop routes to Cancun from around the U.S.

As the largest U.S. airline serving the Yucatan, American will also operate six peak-day flights to Cozumel and two daily flights to Merida this winter, offering customers the most convenient schedule to plan a winter getaway. 

Starting on March 28, American will also launch four daily nonstop flights to Tulum, Mexico, adding more nonstop service to the region.

As travelers prepare for the winter holiday period, American is revolutionizing post-landing procedures with its cutting-edge Smart Gating system. The technology minimizes the amount of time just-landed planes spend taxiing and waiting for gates to free up, reduces ramp congestion and helps aircraft get to gates faster.
